Go to solution Solved by Elapo,

Do you think the i5 would be a better choice than the i7?

 

Yes. I don't think you'd see much difference when it comes to gaming, and the i5 is a bit cheaper.

Please talk me out of replacing the motherboard in my rig to support dual Xeons, and then following that adoption, installing dual xeons...

Why do you feel like you should in the first place? Are you an video editor or programmer? Are you talking about upgrading a server? If you're just talking about your gaming/everyday use computer, then don't waste the money.

I'm neither. I like the idea of having many cores of power.

First - what are you actually doing with that PC? If you're planning on gaming, it's a bad Idea, just because Xeon CPU's have less single thread performance. You could add as many cores as you'd like, most games won't give a sh*t and still use only a few.

 

That being said, do you like paying power bills? Double the CPUs, double the power. 

 

 

 

 

Like this? Or more negative?

You got me. I do game on my system... I do however plan to upgrade my CPU from the Pentium G3258 soon, what do you recommend? I would prefer if it were an unlocked processer.

You want to go from a $60 CPU to a server grade solution?

 

I don't know if you are trolling or just inexperienced.

 

The Xeons that are unlocked are generally hard to get a hold of and expensive.

 

Get like an i5 and call it a day. The only thing you would benefit from a dual Xeon solution would be the EPeen.

You have been watching too much barnacules man.

Most of my posts are very controversial, please try not to get butthurt.

More cores only do you good if you actually need them. If you are not using heavy load multi-core software then you won't see any boost in performance and you'll be wasting your money. If you only use your computer for web-browsing/word processing/gaming then you don't need dual xeons.

Pure gaming? 4690k. If you really feel like you need more graphs in task manager, a 4790k isn't too much overkill.

I am totally not trolling... I guess you could consider me inexperienced because I've only built one PC in my lifetime, and have never got to see the differences between a Xeon and a Core marked CPU's personally.
